once i have set up merged mining, where can i see the nmc stats of my address?

You can't. No one has updated the stats pages to display that data. The original developer for the stats pages isn't around anymore and the code is open source. If you'd like to add those stats to the page, I'm sure luke would accept a patch.

ok thanks. can i at least see my balance and/or trigger payout?

No, unfortunatly.

It sounds like flower1024 is working on something that would presumably show your balance but it is not done.

For payments, as Luke explained earlier in the thread, payments are entirely manual right now. Periodically, he sends them. Luke is on vacation right now, so no payments have been sent in a while and we all have to wait until he gets back for him to send some manual payments to catch us all up. Luke is also re-writing the backend for the pool and part of that will be automated NMC payments, but that is also not done yet.

question: i did not mine for 1 week so the worker address is no more viisble in the stat page.

when i start again with the same worker address, should i input again the namecoin address?

Nope, once you have completed the steps to sign that bitcoin address with your namecoin address and provided text it is 'bound' to it forever in the blockchain. Just kick the miners up again on your same address and you are good to go.

If you're not excited by the idea of being an early adopter 'now', then you should come back in three or four years and either tell us "Told you it'd never work!" or join what should, by then, be a much more stable and easier-to-use system. - GAIt is being worked on by smart people. -DamienBlack

I believe this is the correct answer (you don't need to do it again), but an incorrect explanation. Signing the required text with your bitcoin private key does not put anything in the blockchain. It's only "forever" because Luke stores it in a database and doesn't delete it.

Thanks, I knew he was farming the information and storing it but wasn't sure how.

the easiest(!) way is to use a mtgox address as your bitcoin address and to use that for signing.the second easiest way is to make sure you have a 0.5 bitcoin client installed (luke-jr put a windows version somewhere...but please; look up the link for yourself. i just know its somewhere in this thread) and fireup the mentioned commandline (make sure you used a bitcoin address which belongs to the wallet.dat of your 0.5 bitcoin client - another wallet would not work).

btw you only need to register a namecoin address if you want namecoins.if you only want to mine bitcoins there is no need to register anything.

How do you do that?

go to your mtgox account to "add funds" and copy the bitcoin address from there. use this as your login for your miner.after a few minutes go to your eligius page http://www.eligius.st/~artefact2/5/#address# and click the link "click here to register your NMC address".there is a drop down box where you can select a bitcoin version or "mtgox address" ... just follow the steps...
